Driffield Water Forlorns Improvement Project

Phase 2 of the Water Forlorns project is underway. Alan Mullinger and Dave Croft are leading the work on behalf of East Yorkshire Chalk Rivers Trust.

East Yorkshire Chalk Rivers Trust is working alongside East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Driffield Town Council, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Driffield Partnership on a conservation project to improve and enhance the Driffield Water Forlorns. Water Forlorns runs through Driffield Town Centre and forms part of the River Hull catchment.

In spring of 2009 East Yorkshire Chalk Rivers Trust were successful in a bid to the Environment Agency for £20,000 for improvements to the Water Forlorns. The bid was based on a report produced by the Wild Trout Trust in 2007 following a site visit with East Yorkshire Chalk Rivers Trust.

The improvement plans covers three open sections between Northend Park and Riverhead for a distance of 685 metres, approximately 60% of the beck length. The remaining sections are mostly inaccessible.

For more information on this project please contact the Driffield Partnership office.
